GDAX, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Cryptopay, Cex, are a few example but it depends on what payment method are you planning to use. Coinbase purchases are by credit cards, right? I think Bitstamp can be used to buy using a card.

Thanks, i can use credit card and bank account for purchases, however are there any crypto markets that are specifically for Australian residents? These exchanges mainly are for European and US residents.

I've been here a while, lurking, but haven't really understood what is Segwit. I've tried researching but still don't really understand. Anyone offer a simple explanation?

The name is just an avatar. In real life, he holds too many currency which might make the market erupt if he releases all of them at once. So yes, he has impact, just his name doesn't matter.

Currently alts are faster than btc, so investing them may be faster. Looking for a better job can also help you get btc faster. BTW, investing is defnitely the right choice, just need to decide what to invest in. Keep going bro!

coinbase, kraken, coinjar. These are all trusted bitcoin sellers. You can also look in localbitcoins, they might have some cheap offers.

Re: Would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift?
by

on 08/09/2017, 11:45:16 UTC
I wouldn't. Isn't weddings supposed to be a special day to exchange rings not cash. The idea of exchanging an "asset" on your wedding seems strange and not really suitable.

Re: If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house?

Haha it's very interesting to look back on posts when btc was not worth so much. It totally paints this question in a new lighting. And the second comment too. If btc rose so high, people would accept it to buy a house. However, while the price is extremely high, many people are still not willing to sell in bitcoin as a payment method, and i doubt many people would use btc to buy a house.

Re: Is bitcoin a good way to invest your money ?

even though it is rising, we have to take into account it's massive price as well. When you factor that in, it's only rising about 10%. Still, that is huge, so it still is a good investment but not as good as before when it jumped from 400- 2000.

Re: Is Bitcoin a currency or asset?

BTC has both properties of assets and currencies. It originally started out as a method of currency, but as people realised it's worth and got more interested, it's values rose as a currency. Now it has gained the properties of volatility, and enormous potential to multiply, which is similar to assets. Therefore we keep them. So in the end, is it an asset or currency? I would say both.

We do not need just the governments to be enemies to Bitcoiners. Scammers, bad developers, thieves, hackers, aggressive market manipulators, day traders/scalpers and pump and dump groups are also the enemies within. Unless we can curb all the bad influences inside of Bitcoin and Altcoin spaces, do not think for one moment that all this will be left so unregulated and unnoticed. If we cannot self regulate our actions to act responsibly and not be so utterly ruthless and selfish in our quest for wealth creation, then we will end up being regulated by bigger forces than us.

Agreed, but there will always be scammers and thieves for whenever there is money. This is simply something that we cannot avoid. The issue of government oppresion on bitcoin is the issue that we can tackle, and so i think that is the only force that we should try to overthrow in terms of control over economy

Outrage at first, followed by the community making up ways to bypass this restriction. Obviously, many people would value their bitcoin.

Yes, but no one could've known about what would have happened. Especially in 2013 when holders got a chance to dump, which led to not many people holding onto it.
